I’m the kid that that rarely got attention. Luckily the tabloids have no idea who I am since Father never cared to mention me. The disguises tend to help though”.[/indent] [color=ed1c24]Nicknames/Aliases:[/color] [indent]Jack: His father would always refer to him as Jackson but the young man seems to prefer Jack. [/indent] [color=ed1c24]Codename:[/color] [indent] [b]Iago[/b]: “What did Shakespeare have Othello say about Iago? Oh yes! I remember now! ‘I think thou dost; And, for I know thou'rt full of love and honesty’ For those of us who didn’t grow up with obsessive actors for a parent, Othello is saying that Iago is a swell dude who is honest. Spoilers for a 416-year-old play but Othello is so very wrong.” “Father was obsessed with Othello and thought every actor needed to know it. What Iago did is what I see spy stuff as. Building up your enemy’s trust in you and then destroying him with it. I need to be like that towards the Prom’s enemies. I am not named for that dang parrot.”[/indent] [color=ed1c24]Age/Grade:[/color] [indent]15 “Age is only a number.” Sophomore “So far, I’ve made it a year here! So that’s nice.”[/indent] [color=ed1c24]Place of Birth:[/color] [color=ed1c24]Gender:[/color] [indent]Male (he/him) [/indent] [color=ed1c24][b]Physical Description[/b][/color] [color=ed1c24]General Description:[/color] [indent]They say beauty is only skin deep. They are not related to Oliver Turpin. Jack grew up learning that beauty is everything and thus, he focuses on it. Jack Turpin always tries to be the picture of beauty and charm. It's expected of someone like Jack. Jack always tries to keep himself at the peak Jack is rather tall and is the spitting image of his father but much younger. Anyone who knows the elder Turpin can tell that Jack looks almost exactly like him. His brown hair is kept neat and clean since his father always taught him that it was important for him to look like a proper gentleman. Jack stands a respectable six feet or 1.82 meters and is still growing. As soon as he met his father, the older man put Jack on a rigorous training program to make him gain some much-needed muscle to his frame. So now, Jack is rather muscular and seems to enjoy keeping himself in shape. He tries to keep himself from getting any noticeable scars because they are easy to track. With his disguises, he has to be able to hide. He is comfortable with designer clothes and suits since it was what he wore for most of his life.

Jackson's two lives have had a different effect on the young man. When he was younger with his mother, she taught her son to always have a cheerful outlook on life. He could trust people since they were naturally good on the inside. For those few years, Jack was a cheerful happy kid. He was a bit of a slacker and it rubbed off on him as he grew older. He would always have a smile on his face. He gained a love of dogs since his mother ran a shelter for abandoned dogs in the area. Jackson grew up around dogs and thus cared more for dogs than most people. She always taught her son to look at the world through someone else's eyes. This helped him later when he was sent to his father. After his mother's sudden death, Jackson became a different person. His father expected him to live up to his family's legacy. That turned Jackson into a perfectionist who had to do whatever it took to impress his father. He lost his cheerfulness in an attempt to show his father and the world that there was more to him than met the eye. He needed the approval of his father which also made him a little mental at times. That might change now that he’s heading to the Prom but that is yet to be seen. Now, Jackson has calmed down a bit. He still has his cheerfulness but he always seems to be wearing a mask. His father taught him to hide his emotions from the world as a whole. There always seems to be a side of Jackson that he is hiding from everyone else. He is a bit of a hopeless romantic but has trouble telling if someone cares about him. He is unafraid of his sexuality and accepts it as just another part of himself. His father oddly enough did not care about his sexuality so Jack has now accepted it. Jack speaks with a rather soft Texan accent whenever he is not trying to play a character.

His father, Oliver Turpin, was a famous actor notorious for his ego. He was on set in Italy for one of his movies when he met a production assistant named Adelaide Mitchell. Unknown to Oliver was that Adelaide was a CIA agent investigating a Chinese smuggling operation being run through the production. She had figured that using the lead actor would be the best chance to find the operation. The pair spent one night together before parting ways and nine months after this rendezvous, Adelaide gave birth to her son Jackson. She soon retired from the CIA after Jackson was born to raise him as a normal kid. Young Jackson was far from normal. Even from a young age, he was a rambunctious kid and full of energy. Every night, his mother would tell him stories about spycraft and his father. The boy always seemed to take after his mother with a knack for getting people to tell him exactly what he wanted to hear. In her efforts to keep Jackson out of her line of work, she moved them both to a distant ranch in the middle of Texas where no one would ever find them. Jackson loved being outdoors but he never understood why his mother refused to let him go to school like the other kids. Unknown to him, his mother had made a few different foes in her time with the agency and most of them held grudges against her. His life changed when Jackson was nine years old. His mother died in a car accident The report claimed that she had spun out due to poor visibility on the roads but something seemed wrong. Jackson knew that there was something wrong with the report but no one would listen to a kid. At her funeral, a lawyer came up to Jack and explained that his father now his legal guardian. Thus, he was expected to move to Los Angeles and live with him. Jack was not enthused to be moving to Los Angeles and his father’s distant nature did little to help matters. The elder Turpin all but ignored his son unless it was convenient for him. This did allow Jack some leeway as the tabloids all but ignored him. Being dragged to different movie sets allowed the young man to wander through them with most people ignoring him. So, he learned how to act with the crew. The production teams almost seemed to pity the young man and so they taught him their trades. His knowledge of make and costumes along with his acting skills allowed him to blend right into any situation. If he had to talk to some producer, he was the picture of manners. Over time, he got bored with just acting and decided to use his skills for his own amusement. People would have their wallets and watches stolen on set but never could tell who stole them. It was this string of “robberies” and his mother’s connection to the CIA that got the attention of people in high places. His father still tells his friends that Jackson was sent off to reform school or something in Texas. In reality, Jack had met a very strange individual. Unknown to the young man was that his family on his mother's side had been part of some organization called Promenade. They had been apparently watching Jack for some time as a possible recruit. It all began with the offer for a leading role in some tv show for his father. Seemingly out of the blue, his agent had sent him an offer for a part in someplace called Swindon without even trying out for the part. Regardless, Oliver accepted the part and took his son with him to Texas. After a few days of wandering around set, Jack passed out and awoke in a room somewhere with a man interrogating him. Jack was all smiles and smirks until the man mentioned his mother and somewhere called Promenade. His family had apparently been a part of the group for generations and they had been watching him. They knew about his robberies and his mother's accident. That was all it took to get Jack to agree to join the group. With his father staying in Texas for his role, Jack was free to join the Prom. All Jack cares about is trying to do some good in the world despite not know what exactly that means. That might change though. [/indent] [color=ed1c24][b]Skillset[/b][/color] [color=ed1c24]Talents/Skills:[/color] [indent] [list] [*]Many Masks: Jack’s father taught him how to hide in plain sight with his acting. One second he could be an English student on a trip and then the next he is an American tourist on holiday somewhere. He can use different accents to get what he wants. He seems to be best at English, American Southern, plain American, and French accents. Most people cannot tell that any of his accents are fake unless they are trained to tell those kinds of things. [*]Charisma: Jack just has an “aw shucks” kind of attitude when it comes to his life. Or perhaps that is an act he does to pretend? It’s hard to tell with him. However, it’s clear that Jack knows what to say and to whom to get what he wants. Most trained spies can see through it but usually, their targets cannot. He has the ability to be exactly who he thinks the person he is talking to needs him to be. This is how he runs his cons. He finds what the person wants and preys on their fear of missing out on what it is. [*]Raised by the Crew: Jack’s father always was distant from the young man. However, there were always people around who were willing to teach the young man a thing or two [list] [*]Disguises: He spent a good deal of his time with the costume department for his father’s movies. He learned how a single outfit could make or break a part. He learned fashions and other things that could change how he looked. The makeup department taught him how to appear like someone else with just a bit of makeup. He is excellent at makeovers should anyone need one. [*]CQC: The stunt people on set were usually well-trained professionals who could hold their own in a fight. So, Jack made sure to learn from them. Jack is not a master of combat but he can hold his own. In particular, he tends to focus on eastern martial arts with a definite focus on Wing Chun. So if one of his disguises does not work out, Jack can usually try his best to fight his way out of a situation. [*]ACTING! : Jack spent the majority of his life around actors and thus he needed to remember lines to help him. So, he has an excellent memory for reciting facts or the proper things to say to a mark. [/list] [*]Sticky Fingers: Jack can be called an excellent pickpocket. Using one of his disguises to get close to a target, distracting them, and stealing whatever he wanted to take. A rash of robberies on a few LA movie sets got the attention of certain individuals. [*] Violin Playing: Jack had a good deal of time all on his own. So, he chose to teach himself how to play the violin. He enjoys playing it as a hobby. [/list] [/indent] [color=ed1c24]Gadgets:[/color] [indent] [list] [*]Skin Walker System: A suite of gadgets designed to help the user mimic whoever they need to mimic. Together they can fool eye scanners and handprint readers [list] [*]Hand Print Gloves: A thin layer of nanomesh lines the user’s hand allowing them to change their own fingerprints and hand to match their target’s. Useful for getting into vaults or past security features using a handprint. However, the user has to make physical contact with the hand they are mimicking. Useful for when cutting off someone’s hand will not work. [*]Self Changing contact lenses: The user can change their own eyes to match the target’s retinas. This device can allow the user to get past retinal scanners and similar devices. However, the user has to be close to the target to get the scan and the eyes must not be blocked by sunglasses or similar. [/list] [*]Anti-surveillance Makeup: While makeup can cover up blemishes, this makeup goes the extra mile. Using different pigments and micro-electronics, a user with this makeup can fool facial recognition software from recognizing them. People watching the surveillance cameras would only see a software glitch instead of the user’s face. However, it does not work on hiding clothes or similar. It also does wonders on making the user seem better looking. [*]His disguise collection: This is not the most flashy of his gadgets but the collection of clothing and wigs deserves a mention. Jack usually keeps at least two wigs and a change of clothes nearby at all times. So if the guards are searching for a blonde gentleman in a designer suit, they might not notice the redhead in a baseball cap walking away in the opposite direction. [/list] [/indent] [color=ed1c24]Shortcomings:[/color] [list] [*]Military Tactics: Jack was not raised by super spies or taught how to kill from the age of five. His father was an actor and his mother was a veterinarian (or so he was raised to believe). So he is not an expert in tactical situations. He can hold his own but he is not good at leading teams in situations that require military action. He just wasn’t taught that sort of thing at home. It’s also very hard to try and talk your way out of a firefight with the bad guys. [*] Best in certain places: Jack’s main talent is his disguises and his charisma. He’s excellent when trying to chat with a rich man at his mansion. He is not great when the man’s goons are chasing him through the woods. He would require team support when he is out of his element.
